I am surprised you call yourself 'a true film buff'. First of all, every single one of the movies you name are shown quite frequently on TCM. I might also point out that many of the films shown on ACM (probably one or more of the ones you name) are credited on ACM as being from the TCM library. But, my real point is how can you call yourself a real film buff when the movies you watch on ACM (and all other non-TCM channels) are not only interrupted frequently by commercial breaks but are almost always edited mercilessly to make room for commercial breaks as frequently and that last as lon

Thanks, captainot, for your help and info. Although those prices are a bit steep, I certainly can understand why The Hanging Tree might be worth it to those who can affort the prices. With the prices some vinyl phonograph records are going for these days, they don't seem all that bad.
